As You Like It

Faithful cousins and vengeful siblings, city clowns and country clowns, wooing lessons and wrestling matches, poetic trees and prosaic sheep, men, women and women disguised as men: all tell this tale of how we find true love (and our true selves) in nature.

In Shakespeare's delightful comedy, the characters venture into the woods - and return transformed. Faithful cousins and vengeful siblings, city clowns and country clowns, wooing lessons and wrestling matches, poetic trees and prosaic sheep, men, women and women disguised as men: all tell this tale of how we find true love (and our true selves) in nature.

The play features the talents of Chris Baughman (Great Falls, VA), Kaziah Brachfeld (Washington, DC), Maresca Brand (Arlington, VA), Allegra Caldera (Bethesda, MD), Olivia Delaplaine (Bethesda, MD), Amy Elfin (Bethesda, MD), Ryan Patrick Fields (Falls Church, VA), Noah Franklin (Bethesda, MD), Grace Housman (Falls Church, VA), Jeremy Pryzby (Reston, VA), Morgan Shotwell (Arlington, VA), Justin Smilan (Rochester, MA), Emma Rose Weaver (Arlington, VA) and Maya Chapman Wong (London, Ontario).

Starting off the evening, the camp's youngest group, the Greek Myths Ensemble, will present its short original play, Pandora 2012, directed by legendary DC-area theatre teacher Judy White and based on Greek mythology. These rising 5th through 8th graders will reincarnate this ancient myth in two weeks time!

The event also doubles as a fundraising event for Traveling Players, with a silent auction, raffle and refreshments available for purchase. Traveling Players merchandise will also be available for purchase. The audience is encouraged to come early and picnic on the lawn. Bug spray and flashlights are recommended. Lawn chairs will be available to rent or buy.

The event begins at 7:00 pm. Running time 2 hours 15 minutes. Tickets are $15 general admission, $10 students/seniors. Appropriate for children age 8 and up.
